Description

    The present invention relates to a plant cultivating composition that can be displayed in a room or a store and enjoyed by enjoying fresh flowers and ornamental plants for a long period of time.

Conventionally, in order to place relatively small fresh flowers and ornamental plants on tables, shelves, walls, etc. in rooms, stores, exhibition halls, etc., plants are planted directly in the culture soil placed in a predetermined flower pot or planter. It is common to maintain the water by supplying water or by exposure to sunlight.
For this reason, the number and amount of water supplied to flowerpots and planters vary depending on the type and number of planted plants or the size of the flowerpots. It has been determined empirically by the situation such as the blooming of flowers and flowers, so sometimes the plant withered due to water shortage or root rot due to excessive water, the roots of the plant grew too much, filling the flower pot and growing There were problems such as obstruction.

  Therefore, a pot-shaped inner frame body is provided in an outer frame body such as a net basket with coconut shell fibers and the like, planted with culture soil therein, and a water supply container is provided on the back and bottom surfaces of the inner frame body. An automatic water supply plant cultivation container (for example, refer to Patent Document 1) in which capillarity fibers are placed in contact with culture soil, or a piece of paper that has been broken into small pieces is placed in the cultivation container so that the paper piece can absorb and contain moisture. A plant cultivation unit and a plant cultivation method (see, for example, Patent Document 2) in which a rooted plant is planted, and the body of a flower pot by covering an unglazed flower pot with a plastic film with low water permeability but good air permeability An unglazed flower pot (for example, see Patent Document 3) that can mitigate the permeation and evaporation of water from the wall surface has been proposed.

  However, in the automatic water supply type plant cultivation container described in Patent Document 1, the culture soil is put in a pot-shaped inner frame body with coconut shell fibers and the like, and the outside is held by an outer frame body such as a net basket. Therefore, the water supplied to the culture soil is temporarily held in the inner frame, and the interval of the water supply time can be given some margin, but the degree of urgency that requires the water is visually It is difficult to judge by the fact that it is an automatic water supply structure, and it may be forgotten at ease.

  Since the plant cultivation unit and the plant cultivation method described in Patent Document 2 use a small piece of paper instead of the cultured soil, the water retention is higher than that of the cultured soil, but the small piece of paper is accommodated in the cultured soil container. For this reason, the water retention and drying degree of the small pieces of paper inside from the outside of the container cannot be directly observed, and caution is required for moisture management. In addition, as the plant grows, the roots are greatly stretched. However, when grown in a flower pot, the roots are damaged, and the size of the container must be gradually increased.

In the unglazed flower pot described in Patent Document 3, the outer surface of the main body wall is covered with an impermeable thin film having air permeability, so that water in which oxygen is dissolved is retained in the pot to prevent moisture decay. However, the effect of reducing the root rot of the plant can be expected, but since the film is impermeable to moisture, there is very little contact between air and moisture, and it is difficult to achieve the expected effect.
And as the plant grows, the roots are stretched greatly. However, when cultivated in a flower pot, the roots are damaged, and the size of the container must be gradually increased.

As described above, conventionally proposed flower pots and planting methods have not been able to perform their functions sufficiently to maintain a long plant life and maintain a beautiful state for a long period of time. An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention
A plant cultivation composition for admiring ornamental plants and flowers, wherein the roots of plants planted in the culture soil and the outer periphery of the culture soil are wrapped with a packaging material having air permeability and water permeability. Provided is a plant cultivating composition in which the upper surface is covered with a cloth-like material having water retention, and the packaging material is partially wrapped with a sheet material that changes color when the outside of the packaging material becomes wet and the water retention state can be visually discerned.

In addition, in the cultivated composition of the plant, the upper surface of the cultivated soil is covered with a water supply device that allows water to pass through a capillary phenomenon that is partly covered with a sheet material that is discolored when wet and the water retention state can be visually recognized. The cloth-like material may be contacted.

Furthermore, a breathable pedestal on which the plant cultivation composition is placed and a water supply container are provided on the upper surface of the plate-like substrate, and the water retention state is visually discriminated when wetted on the breathable pedestal. The plant cultivation composition is placed via an underlayable sheet material, and the water contained in the water supply container is supplied to the plant cultivation composition via the water supply device. It can also be set as the plant cultivation composition set which covers the outer peripheral part of this by the cylindrical cover which can be opened and closed.

In addition, it is good also as a cultivation composition set of the plant which supplies water directly to the cultivation soil of a cultivation composition, without using the said water supply tool.

  The present invention wraps the root of the plant planted in the culture soil and the outer periphery of the culture soil with a packaging material (for example, a mesh material) having air permeability and water permeability, and the surface of the culture soil has a water-retaining cloth. In addition, the root of the plant is on the side of the flowerpot, etc. It is always exposed to fresh air through culture soil and water without being blocked, and grows actively. In addition, the water retention state of the culture soil is partially wrapped with a sheet material that changes color when wet and the water retention state can be visually discerned, so the timing and amount of water supply can be easily confirmed, and the plant can wither. Also, since it does not use a container such as a flower pot, it can be grown greatly without inhibiting the growth of the plant.

Further, in the cultivation configuration of the plant, by contacting the culture soil with a water supply device that allows water to pass through a capillary phenomenon in which the water retention state is discolored when it becomes wet and the water retention state is partly covered with a sheet material that can be visually confirmed. The state where a small amount of water is constantly supplied from the water supply container to the culture soil can be confirmed at any time, and the water supply time is not overlooked.

  And, on the upper surface of the plate-like substrate, a breathable pedestal on which the plant cultivated composition is placed and a water supply container are provided. The plant cultivated composition is placed through an underlay of a sheet material, and the water put in the water supply container is supplied to the plant cultivated composition through the water supply tool. A plant cultivation composition set that covers the outer periphery with a cylindrical cover that can be opened and closed. Despite being a very simple plant cultivation set, you can always appreciate healthy plants and moisturize indoors. Gives you the effect of healing your feelings.

  DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

In the figure, 1 is culture soil, 2 is a packaging material having air permeability and water permeability, 3 is a sheet material that changes color when wet and the water retention state can be visually discerned, 4 is discolored when wet and water retention state Is a sheet material underlay, 5 is a fall prevention frame, 6 is a breathable pedestal, 7 is a water retentive cloth, 8 is a cylindrical cover, 9 is a plate-like substrate, 10 is a water supply, 11 Is a water supply container, 12 is a fixture, and 13 is a plant.

The culture soil 1 is a material obtained by mixing humus soil or the like with Kanuma soil or Akadama soil usually used for cultivation of plants, and is not particularly limited. In this example, culture soil 1 in which Kanuma soil and an appropriate amount of humus soil were mixed with red jade soil was used.

The air-permeable and water-permeable packaging material 2 that wraps the culture soil 1 keeps the shape of the culture soil 1 in which the plant is planted constant, and also makes the root of the plant easily contact with water and air. Or a linen cloth, a metal net with a small mesh, a plastic net, a net using glass fiber or carbon fiber, or the like can be used. In this example, the culture soil 1 was wrapped using double stacked gauze. This packaging material 2 can be easily replaced according to the growth of the plant.

  Sheet material 3 that changes color when wet and can visually determine the water retention state has water retention properties such as Japanese paper, corrugated paper, toilet paper, colored kitchen paper, and paper diapers. A blue color or the like can be used as long as it can be seen to change to gray or dark black when wet with moisture, and the water retention favorable condition can be visually confirmed. In this example, dry green Japanese paper is used as the sheet material 3, and the shape of the sheet material 3 is a gear type having a round cutout portion 14 at the center as shown in FIG. The protruding portion was bent upward so as to cover the outer peripheral surface. In addition, the shape of the sheet | seat material 3 is arbitrary, such as a rectangle and a round shape, and the cutout part 14 of the center part is not an essential requirement.

The cloth-like material 7 having water retention covering the upper surface of the culture soil 1 uses a cotton cloth or a nonwoven fabric such as a towel or a towel, prevents the surface of the culture soil 1 from being dried, and is supplied from a water supply device 10 to be described later. Used to distribute water uniformly over the surface of the culture soil 1.
In this example, a thin towel was used as the cloth 7.

The underlay 4 that changes color when wet and the water retention state can be visually recognized is an underlay 4 made of the same material as the sheet material 3 that changes color when wet and the water retention state can be visually determined. Excess water supply that causes root rot can be visually determined, and also has a function of supplying water when the culture soil 1 is dried. In this example, a light green Japanese paper was dried three times to form an underlay 4 when dried.

The fall-preventing frame 5 is a frame for preventing the plant 13 from falling, and it is preferable that the fall-preventing frame 5 is made according to the shape of the culture soil 1 while maintaining a ventable state using a thick wire or the like.
In this example, a tipping prevention frame 5 is formed using a wire having a diameter of 1 mm.

The breathable pedestal 6 is preferably a pedestal having a large number of support portions on the front surface such as “Kenzan” in order to promote drying of the underlay 4. In this example, a sword mountain-shaped pedestal 6 having a support portion having a height of 3 cm was used.

The cylindrical cover 8 is made of corrugated paper, styrofoam board, thin metal plate, etc. with a decorative surface. In the case of corrugated paper, styrofoam board, etc., cut grooves and cutouts are made on the decorative side and back side. It can be easily bent into a cylindrical shape.
The purpose is to prevent the cultured soil 1 from being exposed to direct sunlight and to be overdried, or to be easily removed so that the moisturized state of the cultured soil 1 can be visually confirmed, and the planting composition itself There is a work to improve the appearance of.
In this example, a cylindrical cover 8 was prepared by making a plurality of cuts parallel to the surface of a 5 mm thick foamed polystyrene plate and bending the back surface.

The board 9 of the strip is a board for setting the planted structure on the upper surface with the water supply container 11 or the like, and a plywood board, an iron board, a plastic board or the like can be used.

The water supply tool 10 uses a cotton cloth such as a towel or gauze, a non-woven fabric, or the like, and is used to supply water sucked up from a water supply container 11 described later using a capillary phenomenon to the surface of the culture soil 1. In addition, a sheet material 3 is attached to a part of the surface of the towel or gauze so as to change color when wet and the water retention state can be visually confirmed. Japanese paper, cardboard paper, toilet paper, colored kitchen paper, paper diapers And the like, which have water retention properties, change color between wet and dry conditions, and can visually discriminate water retention conditions. As shown in FIG. 1, the sheet material 3 has water retention properties such as Japanese paper, corrugated paper, toilet paper, colored kitchen paper, paper diapers, etc., which change color when wet and can visually determine the water retention state. Any color can be used as long as the color changes during drying and the water retention status can be visually determined. The shape of the sheet material 3 may be attached so as to cover a part of the outer peripheral surface of the towel or gauze.
In addition, the water supply tool 10 can also be connected and used by fixing tools 12, such as a thread | yarn and a wire.
In this example, Japanese paper was wrapped around a part of a towel having a thickness of about 1 mm to form a water supply tool 10.

As the water supply container 11, a normal glass cup, a vase, a plastic cup, or the like is used.

Plants 13 to be cultivated are various plants that are usually used for pot planting, such as flowers that require water supply such as cyclamen, from fields that can be cultivated with relatively little water supply. In this example, cyclamen was planted as the plant 13.
